Christian Lacroix eclecticism is always interesting to watch. I may not agree with his choices, I may as well love them, Christian Lacroix is to me an artisan of fabric, colors and influences. This new Couture collection is no exception either. I sometimes take every collection (especially the Haute Couture ones) as a movie and [...]

Lagerfeld’s Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2009 Collection was, contrary to the Kaiser’s saying, quite recession-ish. It was like a dance, a dance with 65 brides and widows.

Manolo Blahnik has done it again! He was asked to create another iconic dress for the Coca-Cola Light bottle. His first one, created in 2005, was reportedly designed thinking at something that made Manolo smile.

How often you went searching for something very specific, something you had very clearly in your mind but you didn’t [...]

Givenchy’s Haute Couture perspective over the 2009 Summer is a pretty somber yet pure one. Ricardo Tisci’s 29 models are so bride-ish and pharaoh-ish, I could literally freeze just by looking at it! Even if this Givenchy Summer 2009 is directly inspired from Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s art (more exactly The Roses of Heliogabalus painting from [...]

With Armani Privé I started the Haute Couture series here on Stylefrizz.com. A time of economic challenge requires a heavy dream backing or else… Galliano’s collection for Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2009 gives you just that – the reason to dream and the perfect wardrobe for that dream!

I came across these pictures today: Pamela Anderson ad campaign for Vivienne Westwood Spring Summer 2009 finally revealed (after that Art Basel Miami teaser)! Looking at the pictures I can’t decide if I should just run and hide or simply take pride on Juergen Teller’s fashionable work with one of the world’s most recognizable and [...]
